Favorite SEPTA experience? I’m on the trolley at the same time a lot of kids are going to school and daycare. One time I waved to a 4 year-old girl as she walked past. Later when she was getting off she stopped at my seat, said “Bye bye, friend,” and walked off the trolley. By far my most adorable Septa experience.

#1 most played song on your iPod? “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen

Typical packed lunch? PB&J and an apple. Sadly very similar to what I ate all through elementary school.
